The Act provides additional benefits for veterans who attend schools that participate in the Yellow Ribbon Program. The Yellow Ribbon Program allows colleges and universities to voluntarily enter into agreements with the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to match up to 50% of tuition expenses that exceed the $20,235 maximum. As a result, 100% of tuition expenses may be covered. In addition, active duty military may transfer some or all of these benefits to family members, including spouse and children, under certain circumstances.
